Non-ergoline dopamine receptor agonists have higher binding affinity to dopamine D 3-receptors than dopamine D 2-receptors. This binding affinity is related to D 2 and D 3 receptor homology, the homology between them has a high degree of sequence and is closest in their transmembrane domains, were they share around 75% of the amino acid. [37]
Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling.
Dopamine receptor agonists can be divided into non-selective dopamine receptor agonists, D 1-like receptor agonists, and D 2-like receptor agonists. Non-selective dopamine receptor agonists include dopamine, deoxyepinephrine (epinine), dinoxyline, and dopexamine. They are mostly peripherally selective drugs, are often also adrenergic receptor ...
Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. [2] Thus, dopamine receptors are common neurologic drug targets; antipsychotics are often dopamine receptor antagonists while psychostimulants are typically indirect agonists of dopamine receptors.

Several D 1 receptor agonists are used clinically. These include apomorphine, pergolide, rotigotine, and terguride. All of these drugs are preferentially D 2-like receptor agonists. Fenoldopam is a selective D 1 receptor partial agonist that does not cross the blood-brain-barrier and is used intravenously in the treatment of hypertension.
Dopamine receptor D 3 has been shown to interact with CLIC6 [35] and EPB41L1. [ 36 ] DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphism(rs6280), which is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with variant base C/T is linked to variation in PD such as depression severity, impulse control disorders, behavioral addiction and aberrant decision-making.
Bromocriptine is a partial agonist of the dopamine D 2 receptor. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] It also interacts with other dopamine receptors and with various serotonin and adrenergic receptors . [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 24 ] Bromocriptine has additionally been found to inhibit the release of glutamate by reversing the GLT1 glutamate transporter .
